From July 5 - 10, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,086 New York State registered
voters. The survey has a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

"If suburbia is the battleground in the Senate race, there's good news for Rep. Lazio.
Both candidates have suburban addresses, he's lived in Long Island a lot longer than she's lived
in Westchester. And he's winning big in the suburbs, with a 26 - point lead, up from a 16-point
lead when he first entered the race," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University
Polling Institute.

"Some political pundits say Mrs. Clinton's `outsider' issue has lost its legs. But this
latest poll shows the First Lady's biggest negative is that she's a recent immigrant. Voters still
are getting to know Lazio, but 5 percent say his biggest problem is that he's a Republican."

In another important voting bloc, Jewish voters back Clinton 54 - 34 percent.

In open-ended questions, where voters can give any answer, 16 percent say the thing they
like most about Clinton is her "intelligence," while 10 percent say "strength/determination/
guts" and 10 percent point to her position on education.

Asked what they dislike most about Clinton, 28 percent say she is a "carpetbagger" or
"not from New York," or doesn't know or care about New York issues. Another 12 percent
say a "lack of honesty/integrity."

The best thing about Lazio is that he's from New York, according to 17 percent of
voters, while 9 percent point to his "honesty/integrity."

On the dislike side, 5 percent dislike him most because he is a Republican, while 4
percent point to his stand on abortion and 4 percent list his lack of experience; 52 percent are
undecided.

By a 31 - 13 percent margin, voters statewide have a favorable opinion of Lazio, with 17
percent mixed and 39 percent saying they don't know enough to form an opinion. In the June 7
Quinnipiac University poll, 58 percent of voters had no opinion of Lazio.

Clinton's favorability is 34 - 40 percent, with 22 percent mixed and 3 percent saying they
don't know enough to form an opinion. This is unchanged from the June 7 poll findings.

"Overall, the numbers show no movement in this race. The numbers within the numbers
show Lazio's campaign to establish an identity is beginning to pay off," Carroll said.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, conducts public opinion
surveys in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut as a public service and for research.
